The nominees for the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences 64th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced last week and once again women were missing or underrepresented in some of the most influential roles in television production.

In the 69 non-performance Emmy categories the Women’s Media Center found that women were underrepresented in all but a handful roles. Sixteen categories, including, cinematography and stunt coordination, had no women nominated at all.

“Because women are underrepresented overall in behind-the-scenes positions in Hollywood, it’s not surprising that the Emmy nominations demonstrate just how few women are involved in the decision-making roles of TV’s most popular shows, said Julie Burton, President of the Women’s Media Center.

In two major categories, writing and directing, the men vastly outnumber the women. Only a single woman was nominated for directing award -- Lena Dunham for HBO’s “Girls” – compared to the 31 men in contention. In the awards for writing, only 21 women were nominated compared to 98 men, meaning they represent only 18 percent of nominees.

For example, the award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety series, which constitutes the bulk of names nominated for writing and includes the comedy writing teams of “The Daily Show,” “The Colbert Report,” “Saturday Night Live” and “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the gender ratio is particularly unbalanced with a mere 12 women nominated compared to 58 men. However there was a bright spot: the newcomer to the category, sketch-comedy show “Portlandia,” has two women and two men nominated.

But it’s not only in writing and directing where women are underrepresented, Burton stressed. “The importance of the role of executive producer in creating a television show cannot be overstated.”

But across seven categories, such as the awards for Outstanding Reality Competition and Outstanding Children’s Program, the Women’s Media Center’s analysis found there were only 30 listed female executive producers compared to 63 men.

“How women are represented in the media affects everybody, and what these Emmy figures show is that women’s voices remain underrepresented in television production,” Burton said.

The full gender counts for all 69 non-performance categories are listed below. To the fullest possible extent The Women’s Media Center tried to verify the gender of all the Emmy nominees in every non-performance category using what information we could confirm online.
